[chapter-delegates] Better Communications

[Dean McCall]

I can offer the support of a company here that might be able to provide
something that we would be able to use.  I am currently working with a
company called Numedeon that has designed a virtual meeting space for
collaborative online meetings which incorporates the types of things we want
to do.  It's a basic example that is low footprint, low bandwidth, and
compatible with any browser.

Dr Bower's technology is already in practice on another project called
whyville..

http://b.whyville.net/smmk/top/about

Which has around 200000 registered users currently.

 

I might be able to talk him into letting us try it out to see if it suits
our needs for an extended period of time?  Should I pursue it?

Dear Chapter Delegates:

 

It seems to me that the Chapters Delegates list has become more active over
recent times and now that the archives are open (from January 1st of this
year) I am hoping it usefulness as a communications tool will increase even
further. I want to ask you about other tools that might be a good supplement
to this. 

 

Do you feel believe that we should arrange a time for a real-time
synchronous discussion among chapters once a month or once a quarter. If so,
what technology do you see as the most sensible way to do this - instant
messaging, blogging, VoIP? 

 

I think we could rotate times around the clock so that the call hits within
a 'good' timeframe for all of us on an even basis. I could also try to
organize an opening agenda, based on input from this group but maybe that
duty is better suited elsewhere - what do you think? 

 

Also, how do you feel about a calendar on which chapters can post their
upcoming events and matters of interest? I would like to find a way to
communicate to the Board such things but this seems to be better suited to a
calendar that a mail list. I am interested in your thoughts.
